Earlier this year at a Walmart in Zhuzhou, Hunan, I saw a man removing a number of large fish from a tank.
He seemed to be choosing those near death, if not already there. It was not what I would call a thriving fish community, and I wondered what would be done with the removed fish. I wasn't able to come back the next day to see if there was a special on spicy fried fish.
A couple weeks before that at a Walmart in Loudi, Hunan, I saw a boy who appeared interested in catching a fish.
I wasn't able to stick around to see if he gave it a try. But at least most of the fish were swimming in a relatively normal fish-like manner.
Although these scenes aren't as dramatic as an escape attempt I saw in Chongqing, they too capture some of how Walmart has localized its groceries in China.
